I got my flu shot and COVID vaccine this week at Sobeys, and the pharmacist said that all the doses they have are Moderna and all from the Canadian source. But he also said they can't keep up with demand even with the lower volume of advertising so regardless, people want them.

Hahahaah love it!

I make use of BlockLists so I don't have to go through individually (for the most part).

I block the gross accounts even though I also just stick to following because sometimes the gross accounts show up in replies or quotes from folks in my following 🤷

He is Oscar. Formerly known as "Oscar the Foster" as we started out fostering him and just kept him. He was the absolute best cat. 💔

Said goodbye to our 14 year old cat today, and I am shattered. We all have been crying off/on since I had to make the call to the vet at 8am to have him put to sleep. He declined so much in the last few weeks, esp the last few days; it was time.

But I am heartbroken. Goodbye to the best boy ever 💔

Or the calling collect and saying 'Mom come get me' and then she'd hang up and come get you?

Oh I know it's about the brand... I'm just always surprised when brand works in the fans' favour ;)

And now it's Toronto/Detroit and Toronto/Seattle so they'll be wild games in both sports.

Oh I love this ❤️ and that they're letting the Leafs fans stay to watch the Jays game after the Leafs game (yes I know it's also smart business but still).

Especially if the Jays end up playing Detroit because BOTH Toronto teams would be playing BOTH Detroit teams 😂

Early morning conversation between me and the spouse....

A text thread with a photo of a huge Blue Jay with the following conversation:

Me: "Shit they're so pretty"

Him: "It's all the same one. He got really fat after feeding on a Yankee lol"

Me: "Hahahahahaha"

She already has one. The CBC (Canada) has a line in the bottom of the article that she might not be able to attend due to security risks, and that she's basically in hiding :(

Courage under fire.

This was lovely news to wake up to (for once) to be honest. I'm sure it'll cause a manbaby-sized tantrum and all that, but what a deserving woman to receive it.

What a courageous woman! And I'm SO glad the Nobel Committee stands for freedom and courage in the face of everything.

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

Well hot damn! Go Toronto/Canadian teams!

It's also a GROSS statistic on top of the indignity of a pie chart.

Because is it value? Dollars? If dollars, US or CDN? The products - is it Pieces? KGs, tonnes, litres????? What are you COUNTING and how??? Also, those aren't all the SAME UNIT OF MEASURE, so $$? And 80% of exports to WHERE?

I LOVE that the Leafs immediately aired the ending of the Jays game live on the Jumbtron and everyone stayed to watch the Jays WIN!

Two for two for Toronto last night!!

Really hard to do my job at the moment since StatsCan keeps crashing/server errors/'website unavailable' :D

"Hey boss? Those stats you wanted? So funny story...."

Day two of trying to sneakily download tables in between the server errors. Fun times, fun times.....

I feel bad for the staff who have to deal with the utter nasty people and I agree the ability to enforce anything has long since gone and it always landed on the front line to enforce.

BUT staff should also be complying with the mandate. And when they aren't, that puts our health at risk.
